Question
How do I format cells in Microsoft Excel?
Answer
Fomatting is the process of changing the appearance of your workbook. A properly formatted workbook can be easier to read, appear more professional, and help draw attention to important points. The Home tab is where you will find bold, underline, highlight, etc. Practice formatting in the worksheet you have just created.
If you add data to a cell and if you need to adjust the column width to fit the data, in the Cells group, click the arrow on Format, and then in the list that appears click AutoFit Column Width.
The Format button is located in the Cells group on the Home tab. Here you can change row or column heights, hide or unhide parts of a workbook, organize the worksheets in your workbook, and protect and lock worksheets and cells.
Selecting Format Cells at the bottom of the dropdown menu will open up the Format Cells dialog box that you used in Excel.
